I’ve used my new sewing machine to make these very simple tissue cases from scrap of linen fabrics. They are basically a lined fabric rectangle folded to meet at the center. I make the outer fabric longer than the lining fabric so it automatically folded inside, because I don’t like the lining fabric showing at the edge. It also eliminates the need of topstitching.
The tutorial is only two pages, but please tell me if something is not clear in it.

Hi! I used your tutorial and just had so much fun sewing these. I made some changes for me to use scraps of fabric, but the basic pattern started with yours. Thank you so much!!
